yesterday Issued a statement relative
to th proposed owl car service. H
declare, that tha eorapany la willing
to operate cars until 1:19 A. M-. but
believes that a oharge of 10 cents
ahould be mad for axtra trip after

In most cities a charge of 10 cents ta
mad aftar a certain hour, aay -12:14,
and car are run hourly or half hourly,
all depending upon th else of th city,
In Portland there 1 vary little trafflo

possibly can In meeting every situation
that arts In th Interest of bstter
service and accommodations for our

"I am nerfectlr willing to make a
trial of running each present last car
on mor round trip, which in tnoct ln
stance would extend tha time of leav
ing for tha last oar to about 1:10 A. M,
providing we are permitted to oharge a
10-cent fare on this extra trip, in or
der that th small travel would com
pensate tha extra expense. Our fran
chise provides that cars shall be run
during certain hours and no provision
la made for an owl car servloa I be
llev it would be necessary for an ordi.
nanc to b passed to permit tha oora
pasy to charge a 10-cent far for this
extra run In order to prevent any mis
understanding between tha company
and Its patrons and enable th company
to collect th 10 cent In consideration
of th later service.
-It may be that this addition to our
present servlc would aolv th prob

In tha opinion of Acting City Attor.
ney Latourett neither tha city nor Its
officers have laid themselves liable to
lecal action tn rescinding tha permits
granted under th oil storage ordlnanoa
permitting the Union Oil Company to
build tanks in South Portland. Mr.
Latourette, In a letter yesterday to
Mayor Rushlight, says tha City Council
haa tha power to regulat or prevent
th storsc of oil and to change tha
m ordinance and rescind permit
granted under Ita provisiona im opin
ion say in part:
Section "a subdivision IS, . glvee the
Council power to regulate or prevent the
manufacture or sale of daneeroue

sun powder, dynamite, oil and (aa. and
to provide for the Inspection or me Bame.
The ordinance under consideration reoltea
that the prior ordinance waa adopted under
a mlaappreheneloB of the facta and with
the enderetaadlns that oil tanka ware not

proceedlnsa are bow under way for the
construction of en oil tank tn the vicinity
of residences, xnilla etc. at a danseroue
p:ace. if these facta are true, as they ap
pear to be from tbe Information which haa
come to na I am of the opinion that there
ran be no doubt about the city having a
right te edopt aa ordinance repealing the
former ordinance and rescind perm Ita grant
ed thereunder.
Aa to tbe poealblllty of a claim for dara
esea asanat tha city for taking thla action,
the city la acting In Ita governmental ea-
f.aclty. and neither It nor Ita officers are
labia for damasee where they act In good
faith, attempting to exercise the govern
mental power Invested In them.
